How to Get Hair out of Hair Brushes

If you use a hair brush everyday, you will find that your hair brush will develop a lot of hair build-up between the bristles. Getting the hair out is not only hygienic, but will also allow your hair brush to perform better. Follow the steps below to get hair out of your hair brushes.

Things You'll Need

• Hair brush
• Wide-toothed comb
• Small-toothed comb
• Trash can

Instructions

1. Hold your hair brush over a trash can. This will help keep the area clean and free of hair debris.

2. Hold a wide-toothed comb in your other hand. Place the wide-toothed comb at the base of the hair brush, where the bristles are attached to the handle.

3. Slowly but firmly, rake the comb forward through the bristles. Hair should move away from the back of the hair brush.

4. Push the comb all the way through to the other end of the hair brush, until the hair comes out of the hair brush and onto the comb. Discard the hair.

5. Take your small-toothed comb and repeat the same process to remove smaller hairs from the hair brush.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not pull too hard or you could cause the bristles to come out of the hair brush.
